Dumb Stuff You Just Shouldn't See On The Road!

[psi]

Like the title says..!

I saw what i think was a 450sl Merc.. (or what ever the heck they are) dark grey, lowered, HUGE rims, black tint (like spray paint lol), and a MASSIVE FMIC!

what the? the front mount was just toooooo much I think! Later Mercs and performance arnt really things that go together.

I also saw a Saab 9000i convertable with a similar mods.. The main mod that stood out was the FMIC!

I heard a what i swear was a 13b turbo in a combi yesterday! that made me look about 15 times before my poor little brain could put it all together!

Have we run out of VL's and Sylvia's?

Have you other guys seen this type of trend to mod unusual or totally odd cars with bits that shouldn't fit?

I really like a different kinda car, don't get me wrong.. but a Saab?

Haha, there are a few fast mercs getting about hey, sleeper effect, with a bit of style, who is going to pull over a 230d merc or whatever they are.

The Saabs were turbo stock and quite fast and resonably well built cars, so once again, why not? Who is going to pull it over. I mean they are like a volvo, just the owner is more likely to be a lawyer or doctor, so the cops will leave them alone.

And you sure it was a 13b turbo in the kombi? Cause there is one kicking about with a 20b in it.

WRX motor in a kombi... it flew!!

[psi]

yea it had boost but not the snarl of a 20B! had to be a 13B! didn't think the old dak dak coger would cope with the massive HP increase!

as for the other odd bods.. driven a saab 9000i, wasn't a power house.. did go allright though.. but its a SAAB!

My mate had a Big Block chev in a Volvo.. never, ever got pulled up in it! But man, we never got the chicks either! lol

i totally get the hole VIP ride idea.. considered it myself.. but a newer merc with a blinged up FMIC is just a bit too much!

you know what i'm saying.. BMW, Alfa or even a renault.. with FMIC would 'almost' look cool.

its like putting a GT3540R on an ET pulstart.. sometings are just not ment to be.. yea!

Not meant to be, but shocks you when it does. Which is the whole point. As you say tho, dont make it right!

[Sqd32]

man i have seen that kombi round lutwyche, was the toughest thing ever and it does go well

[psi]

might be tough..

but that still doesn't make it right....!

or at all sane!

hmm.. grab ya flower loving uncles old dak dak of yester-year that is dieing not so gracefully in the back yard.. repaint it and..

I got an idea.. I'll stuff the 13B turbo engine outta my older brothers RX7 that he wrote off last year, into the old dak dak.

now thats a great idea...?

WHAT THE? you all gone mad? Did none of you read the book about sane mods for cars? You might as well stuff a 351 clevland into a VL c'dore!

ohh a got a better one.. how about a Jag V12 into a datto 1200 ute! Then add a 671 B&M supercharger and just for giggles a 250hp snot of NOS! yea.. that MAY go hard.. but still does not make it a sane idea..

But you sure are right about one thing.. it sure is a different idea!

WRX motor I have seen.. and it makes sence to me.. but not a 13B turbo.

whatever floats you boat I guess!

[RedEmblem]

i'd rather drive a worked merc than another drab modifed silvia anyday.

i think its all about being unique these days. With almost everyone driving skylines around I think we all better start thinking about uniqueness!

Yeah, from memory thats the 20b one?

Also from memory its because they bolt up fairly easy, just the way the gearboxes are or something.

I guess we could start saying then, whats the point in cars? Bikes are faster, smaller, cause less congestion, are cheaper to buy and cheaper on fuel and rego.

I used to work in sweden for a short time, Done up volvos are getting around there making some serious power figures.those later ones dont look too bad with decent paint and rims.I can remember watching the EURO touring car championship a few years ago when a volvo wagon was demolishing M3s on the tracks over there..crazy stuff

[markimak]

CA18 in a S13..

the damn thing shouldnt be in ther

[53XYN]

WRX motor in a porche 911 shell @ autobarn logan city (fitting bays) i think its great someting different

[r33_racer]

what about that mr2 with the jet turbines in it! That was insane.

So much torque, it twisted the chassis!

[r33cruiser]

what the hell is wrong with some of u guys. fmic's on mercedies...oh no

it is called progress, if no one pushed the boudaries, no one would develop new concepts.

i remember ages ago a silvia with a rb26dett was considered 'crazy' now it is the norm.

really are u angry at these concepts?!?!?

I love weird shit like that...

besides the obvious huge turbod cars, I have seen a turbocharged 250cc motorbike, a WRX engine in a dune buggy, a 20b in a cosworth (for sale on this forum)...

Probably some other shit too that I can't remember...

[Revhead]

Any of the rotary/TA45 transplants into a tiny old Datto/Mazda is pretty insane (I wouldn't call it dumb, just crazy lol), there are plenty around but there's one in particular I remember, 560rwkw or something in an R100... at the track it'll annihilate pretty much anything in a straight line, but over 200 I'm told it gets a bit scary and unstable. It still handles like a 30+ year old chassis. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want one though lol

Have also seen a Hayabusa with a bigger turbo than you see on most cars, apparently had 400-odd rwkw and it didn't seem unreasonable!

Oh and I'd also really like to put a V8 in my old Cressida

[FineLine]

Most of what i've seen here isnt dumb. Its all good go fast shit. Dumbest thing i have seen is the guy advertising the 34 with a fully sic ulleh sr 20 in the bay. WTF!

[RusH_]

probly blew the RB and couldnt afford anything better than the SR lol
